Abstract
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common disorder characterized by downward displacement of pelvic organs through vaginal wall. Women of advance age, multiparous, with history of previous gynaecological surgeries are at risk of developing POP. Various clinical features associated with POP are something coming of vagina, altered bladder habits or defecation problems. These features affects the quality of life of a women, thus timely management of POP is essential. It can be managed conservatively or surgically. Surgical approaches are hysterectomy, sacrohysteropexy, sacrocolpopexy and pectopexy. Sacrohysteropexy/ sacrocolpopexy are considered as the gold standard procedure of management of POP. However, recently, another procedure i.e. laparoscopic pectopexy is described as a new alternative procedure, which is equally effective and associated with lesser complications. Thus, authors hereby review the literature to compare laparoscopic pectopexy over Sacrohysteropexy/ sacrocolpopexy.
